06. Figure 8 Body Tracing

This technique brings you back into the present moment by tracing the infinity sign, and is aimed at reducing excess tension in your body. This technique is focused on areas you can reach on your body but for your back refer here.

Instructions:

  1. Scan your body and determine the optimal location(s) for this figure eight tracing sensory input. You may know the area that needs the input or you can use your testing technique to determine where you need to trace. This may be a location of pain or tightness or it may seem completely random.
  2. Get comfortable in a position you can reach your selected location. Starting at the center of the spot, with gentle to moderate pressure, trace a figure 8 in either the vertical or horizontal direction. Test for your optimal direction, you may need one or a specific order of many directions.
  3. Complete 16, figure-8 (infinity sign) tracings in the same direction, over the same spot, 1x while breathing.

Perform 1-3x/day for the next 1-3 days. Use as often as desired for any location. *Unless otherwise directed.

  • Optionally, use your testing technique to determine your optimal direction, repetitions, frequency and duration to perform.
